With the 141st Belmont Stakes fast approaching--and Big Brown’s victory as assured as it gets (anything can happen, but the odds are not good), I think it’s time to ask the most important question--which thoroughbred would you rather have a beer with? [I can't get this underline to go away, so deal with it-Ed]
Big Brown, the tender-hooved 2-7 favorite at this Saturday's Belmont Stakes? Big Brown is the cornerstone of the first-ever
Equine Hedge Fund, the horse everybody loves to hate, but an undefeated Triple-Crown contender who will probably get you a $600 tax rebate down the line.
Behindatthebar, the sickly racing artist who, like Edvard Munch and Kafka before him, still has a fighting chance to achieve greatness, provided he doesn't choke on his own tongue?
Casino Drive? Probably the only horse racing in America these days that is NOT on steroids, since he hails from Japan, where they don't do that shit. Does his Far-Eastern cultural heritage intrigue or repel you?
Denis of Cork? He's no Big Brown but he's certainly a Super Cutie...
Or maybe Eight Belles is more your speed? The conversation will be a little one-sided, since Eight Belles was
killed on the track after finishing second to Big Brown at the Kentucky Derby this year--but maybe you're more into long, boring monologues anyway, like most people are. Perhaps you can tell him all about why a horse with two broken ankles is better off dead.
